What is a UPR Consultation Report?
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a peer-review process conducted by the UN Human Rights Council every five years, assessing the human rights record of every UN member state. This process results in formal recommendations to help each country strengthen its commitment to international human rights standards.
Why Your Participation Matters
This consultation will bring together advocates, experts, and community members to discuss key human rights challenges in the U.S. The insights gathered will shape official reports, which contribute directly to the UPR process and influence policy recommendations for the U.S. federal government.
The United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) is a movement of Americans dedicated to supporting the United Nations.
